Will the Circle Be Unbroken? (mountain dulcimer)

I posted this song with my strumstick, my erhu and then a "mixed bag" of instruments. Looking at the original videos that I used to make the "mixed bag" version I thought the mountain dulcimer version deserved an airing of its own.

This completes my little venture in "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?".
To be honest this started because we are burying Michael's ashes (my wife's brother) on June 16th and this is a song that I have often sung at such occasions and may well do again tomorrow.

Hello John, as usual - fantastic - question are you in DAD or DAA tuning for this and what are you strumming with - looks very flexible. I am trying different styles of picks with mine and have not settled on one I totally like yet. Though I am partial to a Gibson pick. Hope all is well with you my friend.

@WayneRailman9 I am tuned DAD. This is special pick for dulcimers that I bought way back in the 1980s. It is longer than your regular guitar pick. I have never seen them since.

Hi Lew, a song I never tire of hearing, it always sounds good regardless of the instrument it is played on. Ed.

I think you made a good choice in doing the whole song with dulcimer. It sounds great.
